Ahh . They gave me a scholarship, but fear not. On the website, it says that the GA for the Higher Ed program has its own process. I wasn't awarded a GA in my letter, but I was under the assumption that every Higher Ed person had a guaranteed assistantship/internship. Therefore, I think, at least with Higher Ed, you would get a GA. I think we just have to interview for them so we can work in the part of Higher Ed that we want. Also, they just got funding to give additional $10,000 scholarships, so maybe you might get that .
If anyone from Higher Ed did get a GA awarded in their letter, please let me know.
